[cdi-dev] Should AnnotatedType also reflect inherited information?

[Arne Limburg]

Maybe we should explicitly state that AnnotatedType contains superclass information. Currently it's implicit because of my wording and the fact, that Annotations on superclasses are processed (i.e. @Inject on superclasses works).

Regards,
Arne

Yes, AnnotatedType is the *only* source of metadata, reflection must not be used. Arne's wording is in HEAD.

Nothing seems to indicate that this was the intention of the CDI 1.0 spec ;-)
